It looks like the real product so it might be authentic. Although I don't think that UHS1 class 10 is enough for recording 4k footage.
And also I'm guessing that with the small insert you are referring to the microSD, nowadays they are mostly as fast and as expensive as the normal sized SD card so it doesn't really matter which one you get.
I think you want to look into buying a AF-S 35mm f/1.8, on a crop sensor like the D3100 it's the equivalent to 52mm on a full frame (I used to use a D3300 and the 35mm lived on my camera 95% of the time, the nifty fifty range is so useful). This is a workhorse lens despite being so affordable compared to other lenses.
I don't know what you mean about your 50mm not having auto focus, even my cheaper Nikkor lenses supported auto focus and I usually used Aperture priority or Shutter priority modes, but if you're shooting pictures of kids running around I'd probably keep it on auto focus and set the dial to [S], locking in a speed like 1/50th or 1/100th of a second.
A Nikkor AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8g lens (don't buy the FX) will run about 150-200 USD. Here are some example photos of the lens on D3100 bodies: https://explorecams.com/photos/pair/nikon-d3100=af-s-dx-nikkor-35mm-f-1-8g
Your Lens is an MD mount lens. Your camera is micro 4/3. So I think the examples you shared won't work.
How about this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009GFX6SS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_M11XCRFV2PND5ZCWX8AD.
I found mine on eBay,... and Amazon here:
It makes sense not to put an expensive camera on a flimsy tripod. That said I’m an amateur who bought a cheaper tripod kind of like what you’re describing for the same reasons and I’m very happy with it. I’m shooting mirrorless though that may be a factor in why it feels pretty sturdy for me. This is the one I have if you’re interested. The reviews are pretty good as well. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B088FNBZJL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_a7fBdzAmKl7U6
I am really liking the bag that I got from "K&F Concepts"
It has a bunch of foam padded partitions that you can velcro into place in various orientations so you can customize it for your gear.
I usually leave my telephoto connected to my camera and strap that into the center and then put lenses, flash, adapters etc. on the sides.
It has side pockets and a strap for securing a tripod/monopod to the side as well.
Also has a decent size compartment for a laptop or something flat. I use it for my flash diffusers.
I do kind of wish it were a little bit bigger because it doesn't fit my macro slide rail but other than that, the bag has been great!
This is the one I got:
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07TY73WGH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
I am sure there are better ones out there but this one was a decent price and works well for my purposes.
Something like this might be appropriate for you. Since you are a smaller person (like me!) then you won't want one of those larger 'I can hold everything' backpacks since they will be so long they bump against your bottom.
I found these smaller sizes more appropriate to my frame. This one has large shoulder straps and back supporting waist strap and is flexible enough to meet most of your needs.
Good luck!
I got loads of videos to work on now and then, so I bought a 10Gbps USB hub from Amazon. It comes with 3 USB ports and SD/ micro SD card readers, for less than 30 bucks. A pretty nice little gadget I think.
Here is the link: https://www.amazon.com/Rosonway-Individual-Switches-Laptops-RSH-A104D/dp/B09XR2NNQT
I'm getting one of these for hiking, it might work for riding? I'm trying to decide if I'd want my camera attatched to myself or to the saddle when I ride, I would hate for it to get broken if I fell. Must be why I haven't taken it before!
Peak Design Capture Camera Clip V3 (Black with Plate) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07818LB9D/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_14J6KYSAFTV8G2MT6NFP?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
There are dozens of decent tripods at that price. Then buy an iPhone holder for $20 - all on Amazon. I have this. It’s fine. Limited-time deal: K&F Concept 64''/162cm DSLR Tripod,Lightweight and Compact Aluminum Camera Tripod with 360 Panorama Ball Head Quick Release Plate for Travel and Work B234A1+BH-28 (TM2324) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015CGRREI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_dl_J1Z2SDXPKJQAVZGK8HTG?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I would second what many are saying about the sigma 1.4 lenses, especially the 56mm as it will give you some reach. You may end up needing a flash at some point too. If the trail is fairly well defined I could see setting up a remote flash where you know many people will be passing by and just camp out as they go by. Godox gear is reasonably priced and fairly dependable. If you want to go really cheap and minimal you could get this little guy: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K6MJTXN/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_BY0VPEZ8DWAYAB42JXKH?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
They make a Sony specific one but it has really had reviews.
Awesome, thanks for the answer. In that regard would this be suitable for portraits? 50mm I think later on I'll go with the former recommendation you had made.
>24-70mm f2.8
Thanks for the response!
Is it this one? Sony SEL 2470GM
Any opinions on the Sony FE 24mm F1.4 GM Full Frame Wide-Angle Lens or the FE 24-105mm F4 G OSS Standard Zoom Lens? While I'm at it, which of the three lens would be better suited for strictly portraits?
Thanks so much!
I've been wanting to optimise my photography setup for hikes and walks so i've been interested in getting one of those backpack clip mounts that allow you to go hands free whilst also having the camera instantly accessible. However as someone who has an L‑bracket permanently attached to the camera for use with the arca swiss mounts on my tripods, I haven't been able to find a product that allows me to mount the camera via the arca swiss mechanism. I know products like the Peak Design capture clip requires you to use their plate which can be screwed to the bottom of the camera or L-bracket, however that's just an extra step in the workflow that i'm trying to not do. I've spent a few hours searching for a ready to go product that will do what I need, but I couldn't find anything, with that being said, I decided to frankenstein a clip together from products that were already available for purchase.
Disclaimer: I use Fujifilm gear so it is quite light. You'll have to consider your gear and weight to deem whether this is a secure enough for your needs.
The products I used include:
- Niceyrig Backpack Strap Quick Release Clamp Mount for Action Cameras: https://www.niceyrig.com/products/123-1
The action camera mount had to be removed. This was quite easy to do as it was only held in by red thread locker. I used an allen key to remove the mount. * Neewer Aluminum Screw Knob Clamp Compatible Mini Quick Shoe Clamp for QR Plate (38mm): https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B00KNPITI2/
Note that this takes the 1/4" mounting thread, and is 38 mm wide to fit onto the mount as to not disrupt the clamp mechanism. Please use the 1/4" mounting thread and not the 3/8" as this sized bolt will not fit into the opening on the Niceyrig mount once the action camera attachment is removed. * Silicone rubber sheet gasket 3 mm thick. This is to provide an anti-slip padding for the arca swiss plate to the backpack clamp. * 1/4" Screw
I agree with the other comments, $200 is a very small budget for a DSLR. That said, I think you should be able to find a decent point and shoot for around that price and today, point and shoots are pretty sophisticated. You mentioned bags. There are alot of options on the market today. You could probably get by with a smaller shoulder bag. This site (https://mix.com/!NFAj7ztz:how-to-pick-a-camera-bag-the-top-camera-bags) has some reviews and there are lots of other review sites on the web. I would recommend finding used gear wherever possible. It is a lot cheaper and provides solid quality.
Those tripods come with a fluid pan head as seen here.
You'll need to source the head seperately so that you can use it. Tripod ball heads usually attach via 3/8 screw.
Actually, never mind... I picked up this deal, for a new T7i @ about $600. https://slickdeals.net/f/10776703-canon-camera-s-w-350-mir-sl2-dslr-w-18-55mm-399-t5i-18-135-499-t7i-video-kit-629-more-free-shipping?src=SiteSearchV2_SearchBarV2Algo1
You can use a 5V 2.1A USB to charge your Macbook (one with Thunderbolt/USB-C ports), but of course it will only be 10w, so it will be a trickle charge. Many cars run into the 14v range when running and every decent car charger can handle 14.8v input. You could wire the 14.4 or 14.8v output to a standard "PD car charger" and get higher wattages, like 30w from this one and some others I see claim even high output (but I wonder if they only reach those from a 24v vehicle).
I'm not familiar with those brands, but a quick search appears to show this flash can be used as a master or slave unit. Does your camera have a small built-in flash? (I don't see anything in the images I found, so this may be a moot point.) With my camera, the built-in flash can be used as a trigger to fire a speedlight. Note the red window on your speedlight, you need to aim that towards the camera, and have the camera positioned somewhat behind the speedlight so that is can see the small flash from your camera.
Mind you, this isn't the easiest setup to work with because you have to keep line-of-sight in mind for one flash to trigger the other, and you have to manually set up the speedlight because I don't believe TTL info can be transmitted by the flash, but it's a quick way to get started with your speedlight off-camera.
An alternative is the Neewer wireless trigger which is fairly inexpensive, but again does not transmit TTL data. This has a transmitter which sits on your camera's hotshoe, and the receivers become hotshoes for your flash(es). This particular link has two receivers, but you can also get kits with one or three receivers. I believe the only thing to watch for with these is to keep your shutter speed at 1/250 or slower, but otherwise the reviews indicate they work well.
Your using a SD card that isn't designed for that kind of use and should be using a card like this.
The adapter sleeve is a cheap piece of plastic that allows the micro sd to transfer data, not something that can handle the every day wear and tear of data transfer.
Take a look at Magic Lantern. They show work being done on a 6D mark II so you may or may not be able to use it yet, but an intervalometer is one of many basic features this software offers.
Here’s a pretty good one. https://www.masterclass.com/articles/beginners-guide-to-exposure-triangle-in-photography#what-is-the-exposure-triangle masterClass is a paid video service but their website and support pages are free. Jimmy Chin explains things pretty well here.
I just bought this one, have only used it a couple times but it was sturdy and the ball head is the bee's knees. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01K9QXU5Q/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_asin\_title\_o01\_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
.arw is a Sony raw format, raw means it has larger file sizes and more ability to make drastic editing to the colors, highlights, and shadows. You can change the camera to shoot .jpg files which your Chromebook will readily recognize. You can also set it to shoot RAW+JPEG. If you want to simply extract or convert your existing .arw files to the more universal .jpg files, that is relatively easy.
As for a replacement computer, you should list a budget. A new $3000 Macbook Pro would be excellent, and has an SD reader built in, but I suspect that's not in your budget. There are many decent Windows laptops from manufacturers like Acer, HP, Dell, etc. in the $400-600 range.
As for an SD reader, most of them work just great, just pick any with a few thousand Amazon reviews and 4.5+ stars. If you're completely indecisive, just get this one: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Portable-Reader-RS-MMC-Micro/dp/B006T9B6R2/
My parents got me this one and I love it. It’s basic but waterproof and has a ton of pockets and compartments. this bag
ZV-1. It's so easy to use. I have it for my wife as well. PS, this would be a great adapter to purchase if you want to do vlogging with digital image stabilization on: https://www.amazon.com/Angle-ULANZI-Macro-Additional-Camera/dp/B08HQVZ2PC/ref=sr\_1\_3?dchild=1&keywords=sony+zv1+accessories&qid=1633496316&sr=8-3
These are a good basic set of transmitter receivers for cheap.
You could also get a Yongnuo speedlite and be set with that budget.
https://www.amazon.com/Lowepro-Photo-Sport-300-AW/dp/B013MC82MK
This is what I use for day hikes. Works great for me, pouch for a 2L camelback, enough space to fit D750 w/ 24-70 lens; a 70-200 lens; hoodie; and bunch of small pockets for snacks, spare memory cards etc.
I love it, have taken it on plenty of hikes at this point, and no complaints so far.
Just to confirm I should be able to take the clip off of the below and replace it with an Arca?
The device is this: Unihertz Atom, Il più Piccolo Smartphone 4G Rude nel Mondo, Android 9.0 Pie Smart Phone Sbloccato con 4GB di RAM e 64GB di Rom https://www.amazon.it/dp/B07KP8J8YN/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_1HVAXAG6N88W629MWFJD
I'm just stunned by how small it is!
Any link to some designs you know? Otherwise I will make up my own
You are probably in need of something like the below
Light Meter Digital Illuminance Meter Handheld Ambient Temperature Measurer, Range up to 200,000 Lux, Luxmeter with 4 Digit Color LCD Screen https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075DC6X25/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_KXPMFZTA42G9S14GAXKD
I have no experience with monolights, but I think all you need to do is get a Bowens S→Balcar adapter. Or, of course, swap out a Bowens speedring for a Balcar one.
Lowepro Fastpack BP 250 AW III Mirrorless DSLR Camera Backpack with QuickDoor Access and 13 Inch Laptop Compart- DSLR accessories, Camera Bag Backpack for Cameras Like Nikon D850, 300D Ripstop,Grey https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085V7ZXNS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_FTYMB8Z2FRXG4FEEZT6K
that one isn't available does this one work?
idk why but the Canadian amazon doesn't have it ...this one?
I’ll preface this by saying that I’m a canon shooter so my hotshoe experience has been much simpler than it is for Sony.
It looks like your asking for a pass through hot shoe with a pc sync port built in
A quick amazon search brings up this branded offering from pixel which should fit your needs:
Pixel Hotshoe Adapter with Pc Port for Sony A7 A7S A7SII A7R A7RII A7II NEX6 RX1 RX1R RX10 RX100II HX50 A6300 to Canon Nikon Flash Speedlite and Flash Trigger https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01LVYOZQY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_DRAJKVMFBAHBV4XMQ9TR
It converts the sony hotshoe to a canon one and has a pc sync port, there are others on amazon at cheaper prices but I figured I’d link this one since I’ve used this brand plenty
You can also go with something like the godox trigger which has the flash pass through and allows you to wirelessly sync remote flash units
Godox X2T-S 2.4G Wireless Flash Trigger Transmitter for Sony with TTL HSS 1/8000s Group Function LED Control Panel Firmware Update https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07S8TFD2S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_4JD1VQ82FD9YB38X65F0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

You can get an EF to EOS M mount adapter for about $40. It supports all the electronic controls (Autofocus, etc). I have this Viltrox version. It works with EF and EF-S lenses. It has no glass which might be a good thing.
There is also something called a speed booster adapter that will change focal length and aperture by 0.71x. These go for about $100 but they don't work with EF-S lenses, only EF. It maps more of the lens area and light onto the smaller crop sensor. EOS M is 1.6x crop factor so you end up with a 1.136 multiplier for focal length (e.g. a 50mm f1.8 lens adapted onto the M50 would be 56.8mm f1.9). People say that applying that multiplier to the aperture is technically correct but misleading.
2.4 GHz doesn't mean anything, compatibility-wise. Everything these days can be on 2.4 GHz, including wi-fi, bluetooth, garage door openers, baby monitors, and microwave ovens.
With flash triggering, particularly TTL triggering, what matters is the communication protocol, and that's pretty much specific to brand and (in the case of Yongnuo) triggering system.
The Godox Xpro-C will only work with Godox branded gear, and Canon OEM speedlights on a Godox X1R-C receiver. 3rd-party flashes might also work on the X1R-C receiver, but they also might not, because reverse engineering really only cares about OEM compatibility.
Looking at an Amazon listing for the Geekto GT65c, it appears to have TTL 2.4 GHz triggering built-in, but it's definitely not a rebranded Godox transmitter or speedlight. Sorry, I think you're going to have to find the matching Geekto transmitter to use its built-in trigger.
Or swap the GT65c for a Godox TT685-C to use with an XPro-C.
Ive already got a 35, and a 50mm (but its kind of a toy lens i dont wanna use professionally) So want something with AF to complimwnt the 35. Think ill go for the 85, but possibly the Samyang 75 1.8
You can buy packs on Amazon cheap. You can also get reusable ones like this: https://www.amazon.com/LOCKDOWN-Silica-Gel-750-grams/dp/B004QUIWAA
you just put it in your oven to dry it out and refresh it (ideally when you're already baking something slow)
They're called quick release plates. It looks like there's a few sizes so I would measure the space real quick before ordering. Alternate would be buying a cheap Amazon basic brand tripod, I don't think they're too expensive. I think this is the one I've bought before:
https://www.amazon.com/Erduoduo-Universal-CX-460mini-VCT-D580RM-VCT-D680RM/dp/B087D523SW/
I use a budget tripod I’m very happy with and would recommend but in general you can’t ask for perfection if you aren’t willing to pay for it.
Search amazon for one that works for you.
TARION Camera Tripod Monopod 61in with Panorama Ball Head Aluminium Travel Tripod for DSLR Mirrorless Cameras Support Macro Shots Counter Weight 13lb Payload Lightweight 16.9" Foldable Size https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07L88QKK8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Ac1qDb5WEY8PH
I just bought this one a week ago off there. I also have a t7i. However I have only used it once and for some reason it says its for mirrorless dslr cameras. So your guess is as good as mine :p
Also worth noting on top of what others have said is that these kits are typically what’s called “gray market,” which means that while they are authentic and new, they do not come with a warranty like something you’d buy from Best Buy or any other authorized Nikon dealer.
You usually can save a few bucks and get some cheap accessories to go along with it, but my advice would be to buy new from an actual authorized dealer.
Here is the basic non-gray market camera on Amazon for less than $400:
Nikon D3500 W/ AF-P DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GWKDLGT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_UFb-Db0XV7HCV
I personally don’t actually use it for photography but Sun Locator is nice.
Also DOF simulator.
This is an inexpensive tripod - I've seen something similar sold under the brand name: Velbon. Something like this,...
One other thing to consider....wide angle lenses are not ideal for portraiture due to distortion. The closer you get to your subject with a wide angle lens the greater the distortion. So in many regards it’s all about compromises if you want to use a single lens. The 50 mm 1.8 lens is great for portraits. There is minimal distortion and you get a nice bokeh (blurry background). This is a good book to start out with if you are interested. Understanding Exposure, Fourth Edition: How to Shoot Great Photographs with Any Camera https://www.amazon.com/dp/1607748509/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_Jr2AFb7Z3GA4B
The focal length has nothing to do with light pickup, it is the aperture. 1.8 is very wide and “fast” and will pick up light well. From that regard, it is good for night shots. You will have to raise your ISO depending on light levels. 50mm is questionable considering what you want to shoot. It will be good for portraiture and some “tighter” frames of night images. It won’t be ideal for Milky Way or Astro because it isn’t wide enough. Shooting streetlights and water reflections should work if you are appropriately far enough away. It is a cheap lens that won’t hurt the budget much. However, you may ultimately find that you need something wider. 30Mm or 24mm or even wider. You can also look into third party manual focus lenses. Save you money and can be fun learning to manually focus.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DOVD9Z0/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_DoZAFbRVG7EJG
Just keep the aperture 2.8 or lower. Really f2.0 or lower is even better.
Hhmm I wonder why I have been having a little trouble with my 55-200, shortening the shutter speed. I do mostly do outside, I love the lens but having to be so far away from my subjects can be a pain.
I don't know if I'm allowed to add links here or not (I have had Reddit for years but still new to commenting and posting rules lol) But is this the right lens? https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B001S2PPT0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Yl5xFbAZNDFV6
Here's something i found on Amazon. Instead of Googling Sony a Mount i searched for Minolta mount.
What about a Sigma 20mm f/1.8 dg ex? $150 used on eBay or $210 new on amazon.

The search for the perfect bag never ends! I have a few different types of bags depending on the shoot. I needed a bag to just carry one body with lens attached and maybe two extra lenses and possibly my laptop for street photography so I made it. I just got a slim laptop backpack and bought the camera inserts that fit it just snug inside. Works great for my uses! Here’s the insert on amazon.

I bought this little Ultrapod last year and I LOVED it for my Nikon D5100. Super light. Has a velcro strap to attach to trees/fences/poles. Full swivel.
Then I got a Nikon d500 and the big fat 14-24mm f2.8 lens, and my awesome little tripod can't hold it up.
tl;dr: Get an Ultrapod if you have a light camera.
Yes, where you could stand a small “flexible tripod” could work.
This link below also looks perfect for your desk, if you’re filming with your phone. I’m sure you could search overhead mount for camera, as well.
Cheapest way to do it is to get a decent telescope and one of these adapter Smartphone adapter for telescope
I’ve seen results from these setups and they’re pretty impressive.
After the 50mm 1.8 the next step I usually recommend and see others recommend is a fast standard zoom like this Sigma 17-50 f/2.8
It’s general purpose enough that it works for most types of every day photography, sharp as nails, and considerably cheaper than other fast zoom lenses of its quality. The build quality is not perfect but if you take care of it, it yields amazing results.
It can also be found used cheaper but remember, if the price looks too good to be true, maybe it is. I’ve seen more than a few that someone didn’t take care of but they are trying to sell at close to retail, just be careful, make sure there’s enough pictures and a good return policy (just in case) if you buy used.
If you buy new, then disregard the last paragraph.
If you see dirt in the viewfinder it will be from either the ground glass (sharp) or the mirror (diffuse). Dirt on the sensor will be most visible when at a high f number. Dirt on the back of the lens will show as very diffuse blobs of low contrast, not as sharp spots or hairs. Cleaning the lens can be done with a clean microfiber cloth and lens spray, sensor cleaning kits, with a fluid and applicator can be used on the sensor, don't us brushes on the sensor. Air puffers (like the one linked) are also useful for cleaning lenses and sensors, don't us canisters of compressed air as the liquid accelerant in the can, can spit out on the sensor.
If you don't want to do it yourself you can get the camera cleaned at a camera shop/canon
Irrelevant yes, but my opinion which I decided to add. Should I not have added that? Probably, but I did so the deed has been done.
No I did not give a link, I find linking irrelevant in this case as it's easy enough to type into Amazon on one's own but here.

I could have responded separately, but I didn't because of inserting my opinion on pancake lenses. While this wasn't necessary it also wasn't rude,maybe crass and lacking tact but not rude.
You still haven't given any advice or help to this problem but rather continue to go after me for a simple mistaken wording at the time of the comment.
This though is in your price range and has very good reviews on Amazon. I just have no experience with it so I really don't feel comfortable recommending it.
It seems that your comment contains 1 or more links that are hard to tap for mobile users. I will extend those so they're easier for our sausage fingers to click!

Maybe look up a RX100. I've heard great things about them and they are small, light cameras. Just not cheap.
Edit: actually, it's not too bad. The older models arent too expensive. https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Premium-Compact-Digital-28-100mm/dp/B00889ST2G
I know this is late but a clip for the backpack has been amazing. A good macro lens gets heavy when hiking and I tended to cart it rather let it bounce against my chest. I got this las year for my birthday and I will probably buy another. It screws into the base of the camera and fits securely into base that’s in turn clipped to your belt or backpack strap. It’s very quick to undo for wildlife and I know longer have weird bruises on my chest. Camera clip at amazon
Short answer, the D3200 uses a Nikon F mount. Look for lenses that have that in the description. This lens is a very popular 50mm option for Nikon users.
Now, all of that being said, different manufacturers make different lenses with different pros and cons. Canon and Nikon and Sony and Panasonic will only ever make lenses for their specific cameras.
But third party sellers, like Tamron, Rokinon, and Zeiss make lenses for multiple types of cameras. In cases such as this, you need to check the lens description to make sure you are ordering the right one. Like I said, in your case, you always want to make sure the lens is labeled "For Nikon F Mount."
I actually have the exact same problem. A canon, with the Tamron 150-600 and a couple other lens. I went with the Lowepro Phot Sport 300. The 150-600 goes in its own case and in the top half of the pack. It’s a tight fit left to right, but leaves a bit of extra space for general stuff. I’m planning a long Southeast Asia trip and this will be my main pack. It’s the max size for carry on.

I got this three years ago. I like it has vertical and horizontal level and has three axes for rotational flexibility. The locks for leg extensions are easy to use. The crank for the neck extension is a bit of a pain to use but given that the entire thing costs 23$ it’s forgivable.
It’s a good weight balance as well. Keeps the camera solidly anchored yet light enough to hook onto my backpack for trips.

> Any thoughts on upgrading an E-510 simply because I want to, dammit...
Your E-510 is 10 years old. Especially at high ISOs or in contrasty scenes with deep shadows, the best new cameras are easily superior. And image quality aside, AF is better, the viewfinder is bigger and brighter, the screen is high res, it shoots faster... and shoots video.
A D3300 is not that different to the current D3400 and it has a sensor that is waaay better than your Olympus. Great for landscapes and excellent value including a kit lens for under $400: https://www.amazon.com/Nikon-D3300-AF-P-18-55mm-Digital/dp/B01JN28QQA/
Another option you could consider is an Olympus mirrorless camera with an adapter to use your old lenses (and you retain in-body image stabilisation). You'll still get a big image quality boost this way but in reality I don't know if it's more economical.
Is there anybody you know with a modern DSLR, or a camera club you could join? If you could test a new camera in conditions you're familiar with, it might help convince you that you're not just being extravagant :)
